Powerhouse MotherboardStrengths: 10x SATA connectors, 3x PCI-E 16x, 3x PCI, quad gigabit ethernet, IEEE 1394A w/front panel headers. Weakness: Immature BIOS (primarily overclocking issues), heatpipe backplate makes aftermarket cooling difficult, single IDE channel. If ever there was a motherboard equivalent of loaded mash potatoes, this one is it! You do pay for it however. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Outstanding MotherboardStrengths: Great packaging, Complete, easy instructions. Well layed out board, fit 2 Dual 7800 Ultra cards with no issues. Fired up without hassle. Weakness: Cost, but that's coming down to within reason. This motherboard currently has it all over the other 680is. In the long run, the extra $$ spent now will pay off, as the features on the beast are very robust. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

680 is a great boardStrengths: Gigabyte I have been using Gigabyte for two years and Gigabyte stands alone. This 680 is right up there with the best of the best. Weakness: I have yet to find one. Some people do not like the heat pipe and the big plate on the bottom but it sure keeps my quad cool. All I did was go to the hardware store and get some nylon spacers. I cut them to fit and put the cooling tower plate right at the level of the cooling plate. I them put a 120 fan blowing right on the back of the mother board. I can over clock and everything stays in the 90's. I am running a 1000 watt power supply and only one 8800 gtx for now but I will soon be setting one more in there. Gigabyte has always done me right. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Quality board
Strengths: Booted perfectly, no problems yet and its the first system ive ever put together.
Weakness: Crazy cool 2 was taken off to install a better heatsink.
Well i bought it the day it came out, installed it into the first custom system ive ever built with my own hands, and with that limited amount of tech experience i havent had a single problem yet. Using this mobo, e6600, bfg8800gts, pcp&c s750quad, ocz plat rev 2, in a tt armor. Gigabyte builds good boards.
